ESDI: Conformal dimensions of non-diagonal fields

[edit | edit source]

We consider the non-diagonal primary fields with integer conformal spins, in a CFT that has a degenerate field . We assume .

  2. Show that the set of their total conformal dimensions is discrete and bounded from below.
  3. Show that there are finitely many fields whose total dimension is below any given bound.
  4. Assuming , sketch the set of non-diagonal fields on a plot whose axes are and .

  • EL1. From OPEs in generalized minimal models, deduce the OPEs in Liouville theory with . In particular, show that the measure of integration over momentums is the uniform measure . (You may use a Fourier transform.)
  • EL2. What is the intersection of the spectrums of the A-series and D-series minimal models at the same central charge? Is this the spectrum of a consistent CFT?
  • EL3. Show that the spectrum of the D-series minimal model DMM is a subset of the spectrum of the 3-state Potts CFT. Explain why the diagonal primary field appears in the non-diagonal sector of DMM. Admitting that transforms in the standard representation of the symmetric group , explain why it appears twice in DMM.
